OUR SERVICES
We offer a range of integrated services to optimise earthworks projects.
From topographical and drone surveys to volumetric progress reporting, earthworks take-offs, and 3D model creation, our comprehensive approach delivers end-to-end value for contractors, designers, and project managers.

TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEYS
Accurate, real-time data for your project
We believe the success of any earthworks project begins with a comprehensive understanding of the terrain. Our topographical surveys deliver precise, on-site data, capturing detailed elevations, contours, and surface features with cutting-edge technology. This reliable data empowers you to make informed decisions during the planning and design stages, ensuring your project starts and stays on solid ground.
The benefits of our topographical surveys
-
High-accuracy measurements of elevations, contours, and surface features to support accurate project planning
-
Detailed 3D mapping of elevations and features
-
Ensures all data meets industry standards and regulations, reducing project risks

Streamline your cut-and-fill operations
Harnessing the latest advancements in drone technology, our drone surveys provide accurate, real-time insights into your site. From capturing detailed surface features to mapping elevations and contours, we ensure you have the essential data needed for effective planning and design. With our drone surveys, you can streamline decision-making and confidently move your project forward.
The benefits of our drone surveys
-
Capture up-to-date, actionable data quickly with advanced drone technology
-
Detailed aerial visuals of the site for precise mapping and analysis
-
Improved decision-making for planning and design
-
Access hard-to-reach or hazardous areas without endangering survey teams

EARTHWORKS TAKE-OFFS
Streamline your cut-and-fill operations
TERRA UK’s earthworks take-off service provides accurate data to help you plan and execute your project effectively. Using advanced drone surveys and 3D modelling, we calculate precise cut-and-fill volumes and generate detailed earthworks models tailored to your design requirements. This ensures you have the information needed to optimise resources, reduce waste, and deliver your project on time and within budget.
Maximise efficiency with our earthworks take-offs
-
Detailed volume calculations for precise planning
-
Optimise equipment use and resource allocation
-
Reduce fuel, labour, and material costs
-
Improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact

VOLUMETRIC PROGRESS REPORTING
Stay on top of your project with real time insights
With TERRA UK’s volumetric progress reporting, you can track the progress of your earthworks project in real time. Using drone surveys, we provide regular reports that show exactly how much material has been excavated, filled, or stockpiled. These insights give you the confidence to make informed decisions, keep your project on track, and ensure transparency throughout the process.
Track every detail with volumetric progress reporting
-
Real-time data on earthwork volumes
